With Media Days this week in Indianapolis, fall camp is inching closer.

Here’s a look at five offensive players to watch at camp, and why.


Who’s in your own five-man list?

I disc golf. Love being outside and the exercise. My dad was a pro in his day and got me into the sport in the 90s. I’m 42, I can still rip the disc really far and love the game.

I also golf, but don’t play as much and usually end up playing poorly about 4 to 5 holes in and lose enjoyment. I’m very competitive with myself.

I also bike and workout everyday for fun

Marcus Satterfield joined Sports Nightly to talk about Jeff Sims and the rest of the quarterback room. Here are the highlights:

Curious what is the best way to watch from the other side of the globe.. I can use a vpn but it's becoming more and more difficult to use. Family member used to let me use their cable account, but that's been geo blocked and restricted since last season. If you don't check in on the wifi ever month or so, they nix it too.

Even the more expensive services (Fubo, Google TV, etc) now are restricting access if you're using a vpn, and if you don't use the vpn, they flat out tell you it's not available 'in your area'.

I don't understand why they do this.. I mean who should care where you are watching from?

If anyone has any good ideas, please let me know.

Confirmed that uncommitted 2024 Omaha (Neb.) Westside defensive back Caleb Benning, one of the best two-way players in the state for this upcoming season, will visit Nebraska July 30-31.

In case you missed it, here's a story I wrote on Benning from June:

Shocking the San Francisco transplant doesn't last 2 years here. I wonder what happened?

After listening to this it solidified some of my thoughts about the last staff

Wife is out of town for work, and so it’s jalapeño poppers and a T-Bone. What’s on the menu for my fellow scrollers.

Not even his dog can stay healthy

The gofundme for Thomas - I mean his dog is included - donate if you wish

I hope this happens. NU needs to play to it's strengths - and right now that's volleyball.

"I just think now maybe volleyball is getting some of the coverage that it deserves on the bigger networks. We’re working on a deal right now possibly to host a tournament here in 2024 that could be televised on Fox. We’ll see where that goes. It would probably be at Pinnacle Bank Arena." --NU HC John Cook

Thought this video was interesting as it includes some of the players behind the lawsuit at the podium speaking out and encouraging others that need it to seek help. This thing looks like it’s going to get a lot worse and who knows what is next. Pandora’s box…

All right so...I'm coming up on one year of living in Lincoln. I have a few more Lincoln pizza recs written down that I still need to get to but have been to five so far. Top 3 power rankings:

1 – MoMos (have only had it 1x but going back tomorrow)
2 – Yia Yia's (3-4x)
3 – Lazzari's (1x)

Have also had Valentino's and ... drum roll ... Casey's (lol it's gas station, I had it 100 times growing up in IL but I'm still counting it)

Still need to try:
Isle's
Ramos
Vic's
I have Napoli's and Vincenzo's marked down as Italian restaurants to try but not specifically pizza places? I'm Ron Burgundy?

Here's an updated story on the late addition of Matar Diop. Fred Hoiberg also talked about what he wants to do with that last remaining scholarship spot:

Fred Hoiberg spoke with the media today at the Devaney Center. He touched on who will be available to play the three exhibitions in Spain and much more.

Fred Hoiberg provided an update on who will and won't play on the Spain trip.

>> Keisei Tominaga and Rienk Mast won't play as they'll play for their respective national teams this summer.
>> Josiah Allick has been cleared for all non-contact activity, but won’t play in the games in Spain.
>> Juwan Gary was cleared for full activity on Friday, but the staff is still going to be careful with him. This trip is more about building chemistry. Gary will play some, but not much.
>> Sam Hoiberg isn’t playing in Spain due to knee pain. The staff opted for him to rest now opposed to later, when it's closer to preseason camp and the season.
>> Blaise Keita isn't ready for contact yet, so he's not playing.

I'll have much more later on once we're done.

Per the lastest Husker Online podcast, Sean Callahan mentioned 7 guys ready to play on the Oline. The thinking at present is that the first five at this point in time are Teddy, Piper, Scott, Nouili and Benhart, with Corcoran as a guy who can play any position and Lutovsky as a IOL reserve. Interesting that Corcoran is not viewed as a starter at this time. Also said Lutovsky looks pretty trim.
In the looks awesome coming off the bus news, apparently Niles Paul saw Fidone on the field at a camp or clinic, didn't know who he was , but thought he might be an NFL player.

This week he answered 2 football questions, 2 t.v. watching questions, and two gif replies. There were only 9 questions. I think it's about time to retire this 'feature.'

Nebraska has had a really nice run in volleyball recruiting this summer, as per usual.

@GeoffExstrom dives into the Huskers’ 2025 class and takes a gauge of what their future roster will look like once they’re on campus:

Apparently the Idaho WR is announcing his decision August 5th.

Have not heard anything about him for awhile, are we just assuming it’s Meatchicken?
